Post-Session Production Kit — Start Here
What This Kit Does
This kit runs the full production sequence after every advisory session — from raw transcript to delivered email, extracted action items, friction analysis, drafted follow-ups, and scheduled calendar events.
It replaces the ad hoc process of reading a transcript, drafting an email, and hoping you caught everything. Every step is sequenced. Nothing falls through.
Production path: Transcript available → Read reference data → Read transcript → Draft advisory email → QC email → Extract action items → Analyze friction on client items → Draft Kathryn's action items → Present email for review → Archive accepted email → Schedule follow-ups and deep work sessions in calendar.
When to Use This Kit
After every advisory session with a paying client. The trigger is: transcript and/or JSON are available.
Do not use this kit for:
- Internal sessions (Kathryn working solo or with Claude)
- Coachee sessions where the recipient is not the paying client (use the session recap skill directly)
- Sessions that were purely social or had no substantive content
What It Produces
| Output | Format | Destination |
|---|---|---|
| Advisory email | HTML (Gmail-ready) | [client-repo]/drafts/ → [client-repo]/archive/ after acceptance |
| Action item extraction | Embedded in email (client items + Kathryn items) | — |
| Friction analysis | Internal working doc or notes to Kathryn | — |
| Follow-up email drafts | HTML or markdown | [client-repo]/drafts/ |
| Kathryn action item drafts | Varies by item | Appropriate repo location |
| Calendar events | Google Calendar entries | Follow-ups, deep work blocks, reminders |
Operating Modes
| Mode | Trigger | What It Produces |
|---|---|---|
| Mode 1: Full Post-Session Run | Transcript available after a session | All outputs listed above |
| Mode 2: Improve This Kit | Manual changes were made to the output, QC missed something, or the process needs updating | Updated kit files |
Mode 1 — Full Post-Session Run
The standard run. Inputs: transcript, reference data, prior email (voice reference), constraint brief or CPM for context. Outputs: everything in the table above.
Mode 2 — Improve This Kit
The self-improvement loop. After running this kit:
- Did I change anything in the output by hand? → Update golden example + build skill
- Did QC miss something I caught? → Update quality checklist
- Should the kit do something it doesn't? → Update build skill
What This Kit Does NOT Do
- Draft the email from a relay.app recap or any processed summary. The transcript is the source. A recap is a generation removed from what was said — using it as source material produces output that is two generations removed.
- Make decisions about what action items mean or how to prioritize them. The advisor decides.
- Send emails. It drafts and presents for review. The advisor sends.
- Replace the advisory client email skill or session recap skill. This kit orchestrates the full process; those skills govern the email itself.
- Create calendar events without advisor confirmation. It proposes; the advisor approves.

Relationship to Other Kits
| Kit | Relationship |
|---|---|
Advisory Client Email (client-email/) | Governs the email's voice, structure, and formatting. This kit calls that skill during the drafting step. |
Session Recap (session-recap/) | Alternative skill for coachee emails (not paying client). This kit routes to the correct skill based on recipient. |
Reference Data (reference-data/) | Every proper noun in the email must match reference data. Read first, every time. |
| Constraint Priority Matrix | Provides context for what constraints are active and what the engagement is working on. |
| Project Plan | Provides context for what builds are in progress and what's next. |
| Master Plan | Provides the strategic framing that informs the email's advisory content. |
The Rule That Makes This Kit Work
Read the transcript. Not the recap. Not the JSON summary. The transcript.
The transcript is ground truth. It reveals what was actually said, what was hedged, what the recap overstated, and what was left out. Every factual claim in the email must trace to the transcript. Every action item must be something the person actually committed to. Every quote must be their actual words.
If a relay.app recap or JSON is the only thing available, flag it and ask for the transcript before proceeding. If the advisor confirms a recap-only run is intentional, document that decision and treat every factual claim as unverified.
